The incisive fossa is the surface of the inner part of the maxilla, just behind the teeth. It features the incisive ~foramen~, an opening which lies directly behind the |central incisors| mounted in the |maxilla|, at the |median palatine suture|. The incisive ~foramen~ leads to a channel which proceeds upward through the maxillary bone, to terminate in the nasal crest of the |maxilla|, at the floor of the |nasal cavity|.
